    advice please 8wk old roo fighting

    Hi, If a chick (8 wks old) that you know is a rooster seriously fights with another chick, say for an hour or more, does it mean the chick that he is fighting with is also DEFINATELY a roo? Does that make sense? So, does he know before I do? Or would he also choose to show his dominance to a hen...

    What breed or mix?

    She died recently at 13yrs old. Was bought as a chick from a pet store (not by me). Until I got a rooster she "crowed" daily but also lay eggs. Never went broody. Was standard size not bantam and comb completely covered one eye. Would love to know what she was made up of. Thanks for any guesses

    Cochin Bantams - requirements of a "proper" cochin?

I have looked at your wonderful albums but...

    Can someone advise what breed or mix Alice may be. She is very small and fine. Lays light blue BIG egggs, and is about 8 months old. Her cheeks puff out quite dramatically.

    Main predator in Northern Australia

    I live in North Qld, Australia, and deal with these guys all the time. Once my chooks are locked in their snake proof boxes at night, all is fine but I have had many casualties over the many years just on dusk. I have managed to rescue a lot but have lost others. This guy (pictured with my dad)...
